Here is a pasty of my real time quotes. I often do that to see just what is happening because it is hard to notice events on the fly.

Note the hold at the magical $2 and the persistant four lots on the asks. I infer from that that it is four traders placing one lot each and moving them in concert while thay sweep up all regular offers. Yes folks I think it is those one lot short traders filling up in desperation and they would not touch their own ask.

Also note that there is a gap at ask of $2.02, it may be a long shot coincidence but I had some stocks there yesterday and cancelled the order in the morning.
